Do the Math

Submitted by transitionsrq on April 16, 2013

It’s simple math: we can burn less than 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide and stay below 2°C of warming — anything more than that risks catastrophe for life on earth. The only problem? Fossil fuel corporations now have 2,795 gigatons in their reserves, five times the safe amount. And they’re planning to burn it all — unless we rise up to stop them.

In November 2012, Bill McKibben and 350.org hit the road to build a movement strong enough to change the terrifying math of the climate crisis. The Do the Math Tour was a massive success, with sold out shows in every corner of the country.

The tour is now over, but the campaign it launched is just getting started.

Join us this Earth Day eve from 7 pm to 9 pm for a special presentation and discussion about the greatest environmental challenge we face today, and what we can do to begin to turn the tide.
